Thank you and A Salad

Thank you all so much for your kind and supportive emails and comments on my last post regarding my son. Some of them made me smile, some made me cry (in a good way) and I truly appreciate each and every one of them...more than you know.

Moving on to carrot salad. Simple, delicious and good for you. It's vibrant and orange so that makes it fun! And it's a necessity on any Southern buffet line, IMHO.

Whenever we go to our favorite mom and pop restaurant we go through the salad bar and get carrot salad. I love it when they add mini marshmallows to it, because they add a bite of tender sweetness that is just so good. It's also something we always get when we go to Luby's Cafeteria or "Luly's" as the folk on King of the Hill call it :-) So I decided to make it at home and it couldn't be simpler and the hubs gave it two thumbs up!

oh carrot salad. maybe you'll know the answer to this question: back in girl scouts some 1000 years ago we made a carrot salad that had cheese and raisins and other stuff in it. does this ring any bells to you?

I haven't made this in years! This was my "x's" favorite salad (maybe that's why I haven't made it)...I should try it again. But, those eyes... those sweet eyes...how can you resist that? I want a dog!!!

I went to Luby's all the time growing up in TX :), my parents are big fans. You know, I've never had their carrot salad. This totally makes sens, I love these ingredients. I'm making this before the summer ends, sounds like a great side dish.
